Zenith El Primero 36'000 VpH

I want the Daytona, but the polished finish and the absence of date fuction is a turn off for me.

So I got this instead.

















Very good packaging, fit and finish is topnotch and excellent accuracy.

You know, it is technically 36,600 vph - not sure why they didn't write that. Oh, beautiful watch BTW!

It is a stunner Greg.

Can you explain what you mean by 36600? I thought it ran at 10 beats/sec?

I did not notice the additional 600 vph.

Mosco can you explain the additional 600 vph?

Thank you.

10 b/sec is 36,000 b/hr.

Mosco have not responded on the additional 600 b/hr.
